Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: terrible print quality, discontinued product, faulty printer

This is a terrible printer. I have owned one for a very long time and have not replaced it because it at least still prints in black ink.

All over the internet I have read posts from users with the same problems with this printer. It does not print color. It does not print black. It does not print at all! I have tried everything from cleaning every part, to running the program maintainance 25 times, to uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and even trying multiple versions, to putting the cartridges in hot water, etc. The printer has been DISCONTINUED and rightfully so! You would be best advised to buy a more current printer. Better yet, stay away from inkjets altogether and buy a toner based printer.

Dont believe me; check out this forum to see a sample of just some of the problems you might experience with this printer ( Note the dates of the post. This printer is old!) : http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/188 80

Summary: do not buy this printer. Better to spend a little more on a toner based printer.
